  integrated health care system.
• Performed services are paid by the HIIS based on
  the contract between HIIS and the health care
  providers
• The employees in public health care institutions
  have the status of public employees. They are
  paid in accordance with a collective agreement.
• Most private providers are contracted by the HIIS
  and represent part of the public health care
  network.

Take home messages

• Evolution (change) is the natural state of all
  health care systems!
• An ideal health system is not possible to build
• In the process of building it, the demand for
  systems to produce quantity always seems to take
  priority over the irrational field of quality!
• Responsible and careful management of the
  well-being of the population is the essence of a
  good Government !
